The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named two new suspects in the investigation into alleged corruption involving fictitious projects at State-owned construction company PT Amarta Karya.

“This is not a new case, but rather a development of a corruption case involving PT Amarta Karya’s Director, Catur Prabowo, and former Director of Finance, Trisna Sutisna,” KPK spokesman, Ali Fikri, said on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

He, however, refrained from disclosing the identities of the new suspects or elaborating on their roles in the case, saying that the commission would announce further details once the investigation is complete.

The corruption case has allegedly resulted in financial losses to the state amounting to Rp 46 billion (US$ 2.8 million). It was revealed that the two suspects orchestrated 60 fictitious procurement projects at PT Amarta Karya, with Trisna pocketing Rp1.3 billion from the fictitious subcontractor projects.

Earlier, the Bandung Corruption Court ound Catur Prabowo and Trisna Sutisna guilty of jointly committing corruption in fictitious projects at PT Amarta Karya. Catur was sentenced to nine years in prison and fined Rp 1 billion, with an additional eight months of imprisonment in default. He was also ordered to pay restitution of Rp 30.1 billion.

Trisna Sutisna, on the other hand, was sentenced to five years and four months in prison, fined Rp1 billion, and ordered to pay restitution of Rp 1.3 billion.

The projects in question included construction work on the Pulo Jahe Apartment complex in East Jakarta, construction services procurement for the sports building at the Jakarta-based Jakarta State University (UNJ) and the construction of Biosafety Level 3 laboratories at the Sumedang-based Padjadjaran University (Unpad) in West Java.
